My new writer’s notebook (purchased on March 19) is back on my coffee table. I try to always keep it in eyesight to remind me jot down ideas on potential new stories. It was still empty.
Although I’ve started to type something new a while ago (April 6), it all just came to a complete halt.
Yes, this 2020 pandemic quarantine has given me a lot of free time, and I’d love to put it towards a new story. But, being thrown off with life has made me scatterbrained. And of course it’s frustrating, because I finally have time but I cannot get my mind to focus.
However, I’ve come to realize that my struggle for inspiration is another result of this quarantine. Because I am not traveling, and not around people and life, I cannot get that spark.
Today, I finally wrote some notes on page one of me green writer’s notebook. It felt good. I hope this means I’m getting myself back on track. We shall see.
![Memories: [Sept 2016 - Pienza, Italy] - I finally got to witness the famous Gioco di Cacio al Fuso in Pienza, Tuscany. A traditional game where four teams, dressed in medieval garb, compete using Pienza’s famous pecorino cheese. Contestants kneel on the floor and roll their wheel of pecorino to bring it as close as possible to an upright spindle. If you’re in Tuscany the first week of September, make the effort to visit the quaint and beautiful town, located south of Siena in the postcard picturesque area of Val d’Orcia. ✈️ I miss travel.
